Question

Two numbers are in the ratio
8: 3. If the sum of the numbers is 143, find the nunmber.


​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two numbers are in the ratio 8:3

so let the number be 8x and 3x 

According to the question we can write as 8x+3x=143

Which implies 11x=143

Again by transpoing x=143/11

Therfore x=13

So the number are 8x=8(13)=104 and 3x=3(3)=39

hope it helpful

Answer 2

Answer:

let the numbers be 8x and 3x

according to question , 8x+3x =143

this implies 11x = 143

this implies X =13

therefore the numbers are 8×13=104 and 3× 13=39
